I have been writing sporadically the past few weeks So here is some of what I wrote.
In case you haven’t heard. I got married. Immigration has been a very long process with all the coronavirus nonsense. Anyway she is here now. Now we have even more work to get done.
She doesn’t want to take a photo right now.
A few days ago.
I just got off the phone with VA transportation. I had an appointment and since I don’t drive I called to make an appointment for the transportation department to come and pick me up.
The lady, and I use that word loosely, was constantly commenting, and talking back to me about requests I made. I want them to be here an hour and a half before my appointment so I know they will get me on-time for my appointment. I ask them to call me the night before so that I know someone is coming to pick me up. I have had people show up for appointments that never existed, and I have had drivers that showed up so late there was no chance I would make it to my appointment. Later, when I needed to go home, I waited around for over an hour to get picked up. Then I didn’t get home for another hour and a half. More recently, I waited over an hour to get picked up after my appointment. After another half hour I was finally picked up.
I loved The Va transportation when I first started with the VA. It worked wonderful for me then.
The past three years or so it has been one problem after another. The last time I made a complaint, I was told that because I was the only veteran that made a complaint, it therefore didn’t happen.
The VA does many things good, but transportation is not one of the things it does well.
One thing I love is groceries delivered to you. I have been trying to use as much of my food as I can. I have to look in the panty and freezer and see what is possible. Then just make sure I can just get mostly the things I need so some things can get used up. I’ve encountered some fun combinations. Who would have thought pesto would be a great condiment for sandwiches and burgers. Other things are a fail. Sauerkraut with cut up hotdogs and bologna not as good as I thought it would be. But, you take the good with the bad.
But I have my groceries coming. Then I can use up some more stuff.
I have started growing my pepper seeds, and it is time to put them outside.
It got so cold in February I had to bring my pepper plants inside. I left my tomato on the porch were it would have some cover. It still froze. 😐I think my priority is my pepper plants.
I have been getting out of my wheelchair and crawling. It is not the easiest and it can sure make me tired. I mean tired for days. Still, I need to do more of it.
I am so glad Christmas is over. It’s fun. I enjoy it. But I’m still glad it is over until next year.
There are a few things I really want to do still. I have to wait from one month to the next to do something. Still I guess it helps learn patience. Growing my pepper plants have helped me learn patience. Just the past few weeks they will start growing buds. Then it will get to cold I guess and the blossoms are gone the next week and there is no fruits.
There is so much my children and I want to do. I am just not sure the best way to go about most of it. The main thing is maybe getting a house, at least an apartment with a bigger kitchen. I’ve been thinking maybe I can rearrange some furniture.
So I am at the VA today. I have a very low opinion of many things with the VA. Some things are wonderful.
I have to deal with transportation for the VA because I don’t drive. I had one gentleman gaslight me. He said several things were one way. I know that is not the way it is. Then I was on the phone with another lady who explained that it works the way I was accustomed to. Then I spoke with a third gentleman, about transportation, he was the most rude person that I have had the displeasure to speak with.
I have tried calling once a week. I don’t want to be to big of a pest but I think I will need to do something different.
I want to start working out. For me that involves just getting out of my wheelchair and crawling on the floor. I have some goals for myself. For right now that’s all I want to say.
I am so flabbergasted that people don’t think Joe Biden is the worst President in the history of the United States. Let’s count just a few of the things he has helped do.
First the boarder. I live in a state that boarders with Mexico. There are lots of communities that are fed up. One town/city elected the first Republican mayor in years. I don’t mind Democrat or Republican at some local levels. The differences don’t mean much. But it does definitely mean something in some places.
Afghanistan
All I can say is a debacle.
Inflation
Well if you ask the government to print money, essentially at will, prices go up. If people are paid to stay home companies have to offer more money to get people to work, eventually prices go up. And the money you are “earning” is what you always wanted, but worth less than what you made before.
Spiking Gas prices
If you are paying the same for gasoline as you were a year ago, you are lucky.
These are just a few of the possible metrics that could be used to gage the trajectory of the last year.
Let’s go Brandon.
If you like the President I question your sanity.
If he and his people were able to do something with my situation at the VA I might not have such a low opinion.
I’m so annoyed at the way I have been acting. Part of it is probably because of stroke. Part is probably other stuff. I’ve said it before. Don’t have a stroke, it’s not as much fun as I make it look
